The TSI is Texas' College Readiness Exam. Any student planning to attend a PUBLIC college in Texas (either 2-year, like ACC and Blinn, or 4-year, like Texas State or ASU) must complete the TSI exam before enrolling. Scores on this exam do not determine college admission (that's what the SAT and ACT are used for); rather, the TSIA2 is used to determine which classes a student can enroll in. All seniors are encouraged to complete the TSIA2, unless they qualify for the TSIA2 exemptions. Underclassmen planning to take dual-credit courses also need to complete the TSIA2.
